Radeon 2400 Pro Video card Problem !!!

[samdazz]

I just got a new DellOptiPlex 755 PC with a ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro Video card. I installed the video driver from the CD that came with the system and also upgraded from Dell's website. Now, for some reason it always log errors in the System Event Log upon reboot with the Event ID: 43034 "Unknown EDID version". Sometimes the system crashes also with blue screen ati2dvag error. I don't play any 3d or other games on this computer, but I do use it for Visual Studio 2003 and other software development programs. Please HELP !!!

I have the exact problem any help would be good!

Here is what it looks like. This driver for whatever reason relies on the .net 2.0 framework to install properly. I went to microsoft and installed "non-critical updates" then reapplied driver and no more event log errors. Time will tell.

Does this sort of reply for help really help anyone?

The newcomers info would be great in an email when you subscribe but when you're beating your head because of a driver error, how enlightening is it to read a request for more info.

just a thought . . . . .

i was going to say try unistalling the ati drivers and reinstalling a fresh version. However one thing to note which is not on the ATI website is that if you graphics card is AGP then the new drivers don't support it so you should use catalyst 7.7 which is the most stable for AGP cards. The other thing is if you can't get the .net framework for whatever reason look up omega drivers

that's not a bad idea but we don't have that for some reason

however if you visit the "introduce yourself" forum then there are 3 sticky threads in there, 2 of which i link new members to. the other one is mainly about the title, it says "Do not post your computer problems in this forum" (if memory serves ) but it seems that not many people notice it

the techspot faq can be navigated to from any page via the "Help" link as well
